I could use some uplifting stories, interesting facts, or good news today. What's good?
@ajroach42 The last (?) issues of my zine of this year are almost done, I have a consciously scaled back run of zines planned for next year, a new zine idea I'm looking into developing, AND I got a bunch of zines and letters in my PO Box this week after an extended dry spell!
@ajroach42 we are showing a friend Gremlins for the first time tonight!
@ajroach42 My best friend's been away since the end of August but she'll be back soon 
@ajroach42 I am on a multiple week streak of generally improving mental and physical health and all I've done different is try to regularly hydrate and eat less than 2500 calories daily lol
@ajroach42 The high Sierras have existed, do exist, and will exist.
@ajroach42 do you know someone is out there translating and performing pop songs in their “original” Klingon language forms? I just learned about this yesterday. https://klingonpopwarrior.bandcamp.com
@ajroach42 A couple of weeks ago I saw a digital billboard at the next city's culture hall about a missing cat, blind and in need of medication. That led me to see their advert for a position to an apprenticeship which they showed right afterwards.
Several things happened, some of which I just looked up:
1. The reason that the culture hall advertised the missing cat is likely because he strolls around the area and kinda became their mascot.
2. The cat was picked up by a woman
3. The lady was seen doing so, and the animal welfare orgs in the area made an appeal to please bring him back
4. Apparently she noticed and the cat is now back with his family.
And also: I pointed out that job opening to a friend of mine who was looking for just that type of work (and apprenticeship to go with it) and who has, by now, already progressed in the hiring process there (not quite there yet, fingers crossed!).
So: cat is safe and sound (as much as possible at 16, blind and with high blood pressure), and I might not have noticed the job advert without the eye-catcher of a cat photo.
@ajroach42 Cambridge, MA is cancelling their contract with Flock (after quite a bit of work on the part of local activists!)
[EDIT: Apparently this isn't official yet! See replies. Sorry for the bad info.]
